🧰 What You’ll Build
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a complete, branded login system with:
- ✅ A custom login page
- ✅ A custom lost password page
- ✅ A custom password reset confirmation page
- ✅ A custom password reset form page
- ✅ A dynamic login/logout menu link
- ✅ A custom redirect after login
💡 Bonus Tip:
Don’t forget to add a “noindex” meta tag to your password reset pages to prevent them from being indexed by search engines.
🚀 Step 1: Get the Free Login Snippet
Start by subscribing to access your free custom login snippet here:
👉 https://wproads.com/login-snippet
You’ll receive a ready-to-use PHP snippet that generates the shortcodes required for your login and reset pages.
🧩 Step 2: Use WPCodeBox to Add the Snippet
Install and activate WPCodeBox—our recommended snippet manager.
WPCodeBox lets you manage, save, and share code snippets across sites via the cloud. It’s fast, reliable, and developer-friendly.
Paste your login snippet into a new PHP snippet in WPCodeBox, name it something like Custom Login Flow, and enable it.
🎨 Step 3: Create Your Custom Pages
1. Login Page (/login/)
- Create a new page.
- Insert the shortcode:
[login_form] - Use Elementor (or any builder) to style the layout.
- Want to use the same design as in the tutorial?

2. Lost Password Page (/reset-password/)
- Create a new page.
- Insert the shortcode:
[lost_password_form] - Style it with your builder to match your branding.
3. Password Reset Sent Page (/password-reset-sent/)
- A simple page with a thank you message and a link back to your homepage.
- No shortcode needed here.
4. Reset Password Page (/set-new-password/)
- Insert the shortcode:
[reset_password_form] - Style it just like the other pages.
🔄 Step 4: Add a Custom Redirect After Login
In WPCodeBox, locate this part of the snippet:
phpCopyEdit'redirect' => home_url()
Change home_url() to any URL you want—like /dashboard/ or /account/.
Example:
phpCopyEdit'redirect' => home_url('/blog/')
👤 Step 5: Add a Dynamic Login/Logout Menu Item
With Elementor, use Display Conditions to:
- Show the Login button only to logged-out users.
- Show the Logout button only to logged-in users.
If you're using the Block Editor, install the Block Visibility plugin to achieve similar dynamic visibility.
